Cool - I'm already seeing the benefits of the doubling in Hatsu numbers.....

Yeah thats what im thinking terrible
Yeah the turbo and gas injection would be terrible too

Mock, is it a live front axle model or IFS ?

Live

There were detroits around for them, but HARD to get, and people tend to hang onto them.
Still worth keeping an ear to the ground.

I have to pull it appart, it looks so much like an MQ front Centre section and the MQ stuff was made by Hitachi, maybe Dihatsu bought them too,
Dunno
Do Arb make airlockers for them?

To the best of my knowledge - no.

There's references to manufacturers in Germany ( search the Hatsu section of outers ), and some guy in Asia - but he never responds to any emails. Detroit no longer manufacture for the Rocky.

I have also seen references to a "guy in Adelaide" on a MSN Rocky forum : http://groups.msn.com/AussieDaihatsuRocky. This is a possibility as during my search I did speak to an Adelaide diff guy who did one offs as described and from memory wasn't mega expensive.

He had never done a Feroza so shipping the diffs across to look at etc before starting was a big hassle, it was just easier for me to totally swap to a Toyota rear as I could match ratios.

Never heard of anyone actually doing it however.

Maybe that's the answer - put MQ's under it? Be worth checking the chassis width at the front to see if the cast spring pad would work - they look quite wide to me, so maybe they're similar to MQ?
